Keep the NHS safe. Get back into bed….An homage to Ian Drury & the Blockheads written with @drtimbeard
Reasons to be cheerful
Why don’t you stay at home in bed?
Why don’t you stay at home in bed?
Spend the day in jamas, making wool from llamas
Watching melodramas and Twitter jokes
Reading Harry Potter, making up with daughter,
Calling up your granny and long-lost folks
Stockpile serotonin, ignore all the phone-ins
An hour of melatonin, online yoga
Chewing knobbly carrots, watching movie classics
A little drop of claret, knit your dog a toga
Working in the study, phoning up your buddy,
Getting fuddy duddy,
Cleaning out the cupboards, Old Mother Hubbard,
Ciabatta bread.
Trampolines for bouncing, making chocolate fountains,
Bridget Bardot, Waiting for Godot, Turandot.
Clap the Healthcare workers, watch some old tear jerkers,
Jogging on the spot,
Do the NHS a favour and get back into bed
Why don’t you get back into bed?
Chorus
Why don’t you stay at home in bed?
Why don’t you stay at home in bed?
Why dont you stay at home in bed?
Now cheer yourself up by listening to the real thing
